    Description

    Satan in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Satan, also known as the devil, is the chief adversary of God and the tempter of humanity. The name "Satan" comes from the Hebrew word meaning "adversary" or "accuser." He is portrayed as a spiritual being who opposes God's purposes and seeks to lead people into sin and destruction.

    In the Old Testament, Satan appears as an accuser in the heavenly court (Job.1.6-12; 2:1-7; Zechariah 3:1-2). He challenges the integrity of Job and receives permission from God to test him. The Old Testament also uses the term "satan" or "adversary" to describe human opponents or obstacles (1Sa.29.4; 2Sa.19.22; 1Ki.5.4).

    In the New Testament, Satan is identified as the tempter of Jesus (Matthew 4:1-11; Mrk.1.13; Luke 4:1-13), the oppressor of God's people (Luke 13:16; Act.10.38), and the deceiver of the world (Revelation 12:9; 20:3, 8). He is also called the "ruler of this world" (Jhn.12.31; 14:30; 16:11) and the "god of this age" (2Co.4.4).

    Jesus defeated Satan through His death and resurrection (Hebrews 2:14; 1Jn.3.8), and believers are called to resist him (Jam.4.7; 1Pe.5.8-9). The New Testament portrays Satan as a real and active spiritual adversary, but one whose power is limited and whose ultimate defeat is assured (Romans 16:20; Revelation 20:10).

    Other names for Satan include Beelzebub (Matthew 10:25; 12:24-27), Belial (2Co.6.15), and the serpent (Revelation 12:9; 20:2). These names highlight his role as the leader of demons, the personification of evil, and the deceiver of humanity.

    Relations

    Direct connections

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.

    The pattern

    Where Satan is named

    Every book of the corpus in the order it is read, each as wide as the chapters it holds. A bar is the verses of that book which write the name, and the flat stretches are as much of the answer as the bars.

    Where the name is written across the corpus. 101 verses across 29 of 66 books; 37 write the name nowhere.

    Satan is named in 101 verses, and the name is written 115 times in them — occurrences of the name in the Hebrew or Greek, counted in the versification of the Berean Standard Bible (v5.7). Every book of the corpus is drawn, its width its share of the 1,189 chapters. 37 of the 66 books never write it. A verse that tells of this subject without writing the name is not counted here.
